About Us

Michael’s Party Rentals was started as Party Tent Rentals in 2000 by Michael and his brother Ryan as a small one tent operation. The first tent they set up was when Michael Linton was 17 and Ryan was 15 working out of their parent’s garage. In 2003 Michael bought Ryan’s half of the business, renamed it Michael’s Party Rentals and expanded the inventory and equipment options available for customers.

Today, Michael’s Party Rentals operates year round,7 days a week. The 9,000 square foot warehouse holds over 100 tents of all sizes, tables, chairs, dance floor, staging, lighting and an extensive array of rental equipment for any type of party. There is also a 1,500 square foot washing/hanging area to make sure all the tents are clean for our customers. Michael’s Party Rentals has 18 employees and can handle 80 or more events each week during peak season.

Owner, Michael Linton, is very “hands on” with day to day operations. He may be answering phones, putting up tents, driving a truck, or filling propane — whatever needs to be done. He is always on call for any situation that needs to be addressed at any time. He is willing to take the time to sit down with any customer to plan their event and personalize it.

Michael’s Party Rentals is proudly the only company in the Greater Springfield area with a certified event rental professional on staff.

Client Testimonials

Dear Michael, Kensey, & Staff,

I wanted to take this opportunity to thank you for the amazing job done at The Delaney House on September 24th for the wedding reception for Mick & Dana Corduff. When we began the planning and realized what a large tent we would need, we did research several companies. After meeting with others, it became clear that using Michael’s Party Rentals would be our best option.
As the event got closer, we had many changes, amounts of tables & chairs, marquee tents, just to name a few, and each change was immediately taken care of. In fact, for the 10 days before the wedding I faxed or emailed Kensey every day with changes that were always quickly fixed. I know from experience it is not so fun to deal with those floor plans!
It helped put my mind at ease when just days before the event, Michael made a last minute site visit at our request, to make sure we were all on the same page. Then the real test came during the torrential down pours the day before the wedding during set up! When I arrived at 6:00am the day of the wedding, the tent was set up, and dry inside! Your team was back on-site the day of to make sure everything was perfect, and it was.
Throughout the event I heard so many comments on how beautiful the tent was. The Bride especially loved the Chivalry Chairs. What I was especially thrilled with was the customer service I received, making me feel like we had the only event going on for you that weekend, and I know that was definitely not the case! I have already highly recommended you to anyone I know who may be in need of any kind of tent or party rentals, and will continue to do so. Thank you so much for turning a parking lot into an amazing Wedding Reception!
